. 

lOverall - Efficient and effective.
 
lUNDP (GEF Implementing Agency): efficient and responsive
Issues: bureaucratic procedures affected Executing Agency (FFA); some delays in disbursements, issues generally resolved.
l
lFFA: very effective in key management/coordination role.
lProject Coordination Unit (FFA/PCU): effective but under-resourced
Issues: PCU under-resourced (4-5% of GEF allocation; 0.5% of total!!; 15-20% admin overheads usual)
Lacks resources for regular country visits, information dissemination etc.
l
lSPC: very effective in increasing knowledge of the status of oceanic
fisheries.
Issues: a number of countries indicated their desire for greater domestic capacity in monitoring & modelling
